Exhausted!

What a day. Today we had Bianca's 11th birthday party. It's kind of a tradition now that we do her friend party around the last day of school and make it and end year party birthday bash. We had it at our community clubhouse and pool. She invited her whole class, her cousins and some other really good friends. We had about 20 kids. Her theme was ice cream and we built our own sundaes, ate pizza and swam. They also did a little bit of dancing, LOL. It was quite a site! I've got lots of video of them shaking their booties :-)

The cutest thing was the shirt that her "boyfriend" made her. This is the boy that asked her to the dance. He is a real cutie and very polite. Jerry did not get there until towards the end and pretty much ignored the boy, LOL. He's going to have a really hard time making it through the next couple of years.



Graduation

Matthew graduated from preschool today. It was a very cute program. Even though he technically is not going to Kindergarten (he is but is going to a private school and most likely I will have him repeat K either there or go to KISD Kindergarten the following year).

It was very emotional. He has been there since he was 2 and these ladies are wonderful and took very good care of him. It was hard to say goodbye and move on to the next phase of his life.

I cannot believe I will have both my kids in grade school next year. Makes me feel old, LOL. He's officially not a baby anymore.

We are looking forward to nice relaxing summer. I decided to not send him this summer since I will be working from home more and we will be taking quite a bit of vacation. My mom and sister will help me out on days that I need to be in the office. It will also save me alot of money the next few months!

One Week To Go!

It's been a busy month with end of the year activities for the kids. We had our annual Cinco De Mayo party earlier in the month, Bianca had her last dance of the year. She actually had a date if you want to call it that. Some sweet boy asked her to the dance so they met at the dance and hung out with a group of friends. How sweet, although Jerry did not think so, (hee hee) Of course we had to go shopping before hand and buy the right outfit. It was a beach theme so she wore bermudas cute shirt and flip flops! Here is a picture of her and her best friend before the dance






Only one more week of school left! A week from today both kids will be home full time for the summer. Actually Matthew's last day of Preschool is this Thursday. I cannot believe my baby is graduating from preschool :-(

I love summer! I love no homework, no school activities, limited extra activities. We can just be lazy and do nothing! Matthew will have Soccer until June 23 and then that's it. We do not do much summer activities because we usually have summer travel planned. The kids will probably go hang out with my parents for a week at the lake house in June and then July 19 we leave for California for 3 weeks. We also have NRH20 passes and will get alot of use out of them.

It will be a busy week though. Thursday we have Matthew's best friend's birthday party and Matthew's graduation. Friday we are having Bianca's birthday party. We usually do her kid party of few weeks before he actual birthday so majority of the kids can make it since her birthday is in middle of June. It's kind of become a tradition for her and her friends. Its more like a birthday/end of year bash all in one. She is having an ice cream theme party at our community clubhouse and pool. They will swim and build their own ice cream sundaes.

Saturday Bianca has another birthday party for her best friend.

Then I can just chill until Matthew's birthday party on June 29. We are having his early because my family is going out of town in early July around his birthday. So if I can just get through all these birthdays then I can focus on preparing for our vacation!
